    Laura using a cucumber as a pointer, explaining the raised beds, Benjamin playing croquet with a cherry tomato, and nothing planted in this bed . . .but an orange cat! Thank you for the smiles, Laura. And, yes! Draw faces on those potatoes.

  • @kellieleahy66
    @kellieleahy66 Před rokem +2

    One of the sweetest memories I have of my dad was his excitement when he harvested his huge crop of potatoes. My daughter was three and he had her out in that bed digging away. Both of them were covered in dirt. I'd hear squeals of delight as another jumbo popped to the surface.
    He taught me the best way to bake potatoes and the yummiest way to eat them. Growing, harvesting and eating homegrown good was always exciting because of his enthusiasm. I miss him very much.
    Thank you for sharing your day with us, Laura. ❤

    Oh my how bountiful you were blessed for all your hard work! When I was raising my 4 kids we had a garden and the potato harvest was very important. We had two boys and two girls. The boys are non-stop!!! The Lord blessed us. I canned and we raised pigs and cows to eat. I miss those days. I’m riding your coat tail to remember those days. Thanks so much guys ❤

    What I like about this idea of planting fall crops is that you already have things growing to keep you fulfilled, so the waiting isn’t so daunting. Thanks Laura, Benjamin, Douglas &….drum roll please…of course, RUSSELL 😂

    @molliejune1813 Před rokem +4

    I love the funny shaped potatoes! I grew up in southeastern Idaho where sooooo many Russets are grown. We were out of school for two weeks at the end of September and beginning of October to work in potato harvest. I remember contests at school where those weird potatoes were decorated, weighed, and measured in all sorts of categories. Good memories!

    • @laraemitchell9064
      @laraemitchell9064 Před rokem +1

      Same. Slight variations depending on what was on hand. Sliced yellow onions can sub for shallots. Green pepper can swap for the red peppers. I like lots ground black pepper also, but my daughter doesn’t.

    • @arossnagl
      @arossnagl Před rokem +1

Planning to wear it on the first semi cool day (we're still hot here in ATL).

    I made this Asian salad last night. It was a hit, so thankful for this recipe. I used a sweet onion instead of the shallots as that's what I had. What a fab recipe as all ingredients are ones that we have in the fridge most of the time. Thank you.

    Just a suggestion, my husband puts the forks on the skid loader. He then goes backwards down the row and lifts them all up and it makes harvesting potatoes so much easier.

I’m going to make it.

    Great potato harvest! Wow! I so wish I had root cellar to store things in massive quantities. Question Laura? Will you be drawing face’s on the potatoes and taking them and putting on your dads desk??? For the cucumber salad, we do cucumbers and onions in apple cider vinegar, add sugar and black pepper to your taste and let it sit overnight usually. Always a favorite in our family every year. Benjamin is so cute protecting the garden! Love your videos and never ever miss one! Have a awesome day!

  • @maryalicehuffstetler3026

    It was so nice to see Benjamin this morning. 😊 I like that he was putting stuff in the ground to protect your crops.😊 You should fry some potatoes with onion in them.With Pinto beans and some cornbread. People from the south love that combination of food together. ❤ Take those weird potatoes and fry them up.😂
